Jean, This is the "family story" on our Sheckles line. Wilson Sheckles b OH ap 1840 married a Sarah Lucile Wilson b ap 1840 assume married before 1865 when their daughter, Anna Gene was born in IA on Aug 30 1865. The family moved from IA to OH after the birth of Anna. They must have moved again or Anna ran away from home as she was married in St. Louis MO to a John H. Goddard on Sept 5 1881. The lived in MO, KY, TN shortly and moved to IA where their children were born. After 1888 when their last child was born they moved to WA. I can prove the WA life but have not been able to prove much else. All census state the same info on birth places as is stated in the family story. A side note in the family history "cousin to President... Wilson? Thanks Beth

WayneWells27 — 2007-06-22 16:04:07Z

We have a Wilson Sheckles born in OH ap 1840 (age guess from da birth of 1865) He married a Sarah Lucile Wilson and moved to IA where their daughter Anna Gene was born in 1865. They returned to OH a few years after daughter was born. Anna was married in 1881 in MO to a John H. Goddard, a Methodist minister. I have not been able to prove any of this this is "family story" besides the fact that he was a Methodist minister. Any clues among you Sheckles? Thanks Beth/Wayne

I have a Sarah Sheckles marrying a Joseph Davis August 20, l83l. Crawford Co, Indiana. Do you think she married twice?

Elizabeth Sheckles/Joseph Davis

Georgia_Estes — 2006-01-08 21:46:42Z

Crawford County, IN marriages shows Elizabeth Sheckles marrying Joseph Davis, Jun 8, l826.

It also shows Sarah Sheckles marrying Joseph Davis, Aug 8, l831.

And a James Sheckles marrying a Nancy Jones in September 9, l828.

There is a James , John, and Abraham Sheckles as heads of houselhold in the l830 census in Crawford County Indiana.

Hope this helps someone. If you see any connections between Sheckles and Merritt, PLEASE tell me. Especially if it is prior to l855.

xanadune1964 — 2005-08-23 01:36:37Z

Delilah, just checking on a slim link. Does your Bryant research connect with Sheckles? Possibly in CA? I am trying to help a friend find her Sheckles ancestry. She has a Kate or katherine Bryant marrying a Sheckles in 1865 in CA. First name unknown. Children of this marriage: Daughter Lulu on 17 Dec 1866 and son Fred Powell 16 Sept 1870. Mr. Sheckles the father ran off on the family in 1876 and Kate Sheckles married James D. Gray and Fred Powell changed his name from Sheckles to Gray. Can you help on this or refer me to someone who might be able to help? Thanks, you can reach me at altheap@wyoming.com, and my friend thanks you also. Althea

Re: Thomas Sheckles Family ~ VA, KY, ILL Info Wanted!!!!

cloudyday090 — 2003-07-16 04:08:37Z

I have a connection with this Thomas Sheckles Family!!!!!!!!!

My line comes through Elizabeth Sheckles, daughter of Thomas and Ellen Sheckles. Elizabeth marries Benjamin T. Harrison in New Diggings, LaFayette Co, WI-15 May 1848. I follow Benjamin & Elizabeth (age 21) through the 1850 census in Madison Co. IL where Julia Shekels (age 14)is living with them. In 1860 census Madison Co. IL, Joseph Shickles (age 21) is living with Charles and Julia Belk. Joseph Sheckles serves with the Co. D, 117Reg't Illinois Infantry from 19 Sept 1862 - 5 Aug 1865. No further information about Joseph.

My Eliazbeth (Sheckles) Harrison is listed in the 1860 census with Benjamin and three children: William (11), Mary (4) and Robert (2mo.) This is the last record I have of Elizabeth Sheckles.....Benjamin marries Dolly Simes in Morgan Co. IL on 13 Oct 1861. They move to Labette Co, Kansas with the two boys and leave Mary Harrison behind with the Denton family of Madison Co. IL. Mary (Harrison) King is my great grandmother

What has happened to Elizabeth (Sheckles) Harrison? I have not found a death or divorce record for her in Madison or Morgan Co. My trail has been cold for awhile. I would love any information anyone might have on this line.

Please contact me at adamekp@presys.com

jhubler — 2003-05-24 02:16:41Z

The Sheckles family was living in St. James Parish, Ann Arundel MD in 1700. One branch moved to Hardin Co. KY about 1790 and some moved on the Crawford Co. IN about 1820.

Theory of the Sheckels

jhubler — 2003-05-24 02:16:41Z

I agree with your theory up to a point. Abraham and Rebecca Coy Sheckles remained in Crawford Co. IN. In 1850 census Abraham was 71 and was born in MD. Rebecca was 61 and born in KY. Looks like your Abram was from another branch of the MD family.

I am a direct descendant of John and Sarah Coy Sheckels. They remained in Crawford Co.
as did their son Silas who died there in 1878. Their son, John and his wife Zeruiah Bullock moved on to Mercer Co. IL and then on to Minden, Kearney NB. Their son William, my grandfather, went west to Kitsap Co. WA. in 1900.

Jennie Sheckles, b abt. 1818, South Central KY

ddenison66 — 2003-01-02 19:42:43Z

In searching for my Denison line I was told that John M Dennison married Jennie Sheckles in KY and had one son William Moses Dennison, b 1839.

My earliest records of John Dennison are in Barren, Hart and Metcalfe Counties. John was born in 1818 so I suspect Jennie would have been of similar age.

I'm having a hard time finding any information on John Dennison and Jennie Sheckles. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks
